True Blood, heh
You know, I don't actually hate Bill/Sookie as much as most do, but I think this is eerily perfect :D
The most recent episode made me want Sookie/Tara :( I generally love "the Lafayettes". I think I could show just about them (Tara, Eggs, Lafayette, Tara's mom, Sookie can come for occasional visits).
It's pretty fascinating how Bill keeps getting greyer and greyer. I think that's a cool effect of him "fading away" and him also maybe being more sickly than the vampires who drink actual blood.
Speaking of unpopular widely seen as no chemistry couples, I actually really liked the Michael/Fiona stuff in the most recent season of Burn Notice. And to think I was pretty sure I wanted to give the show up during the first few eps of the season.
Sometimes I think that the advantage of couples or characters who suck or who nobody likes is that the writers can do what they want with them without having constantly annoying fangirls wailing in their ears. I think that's what I like about Burn Notice. There is no "pairing".
It's sometimes hard to describe it, but sometimes I actually like the feeling of watching a show and feeling that the writers don't give a fuck about what I think. Because they write what feels right to them and not what they think I might like. If I like it, good, if I don't, well, too bad. Of course there are the countless examples of horrible bad writing and horrible decisions and writers doing exactly the most wrong and most hated thing, but I think even that would feel more real and honest to me than a writer who does nothing but pandering.
That said, personally I think that most bad writing comes either from pandering or a writer not being able to decide between what he wants and what the fans want. And maybe trying to do both, leading to more suck.
